How to Take Advantage of Your Air Conditioners Efficiency

Now that spring is upon us, we’ll start experiencing more and more warm days in McHenry. It’s a great time to examine your air conditioner’s efficiency. We have some basic ideas for you to completely take advantage of the benefits of your air conditioner’s efficiency and increase its lifespan.

Change Your Air Conditioner Filter1.You’ve heard this before, but exchanging your air conditioner’s filter is so important. Even ENERGY STAR® advises changing it monthly. You may need to replace your filter more or less frequently, per your manufacturer’s recommendation. If you monitor your filter each month, you’ll begin to determine how often you should change it. Air will flow more freely throughout your space when you have a clean filter. You’ll see better air quality and improvements in air conditioner efficiency. A buildup of dust and debris inside your system will push it work harder. More work could lead to a decreased lifespan for your system.

Make Sure Your Ducts Are Sealed Properly If your ducts have any leaks, holes or poor connections, it’ll be tough for your system to efficiently drive air throughout your space. And even though your air conditioner will be working extra, you still may not be as comfortable as you would prefer. If you are wondering how well-sealed your ducts are, talk to the professionals at Jett's Heating & Air Inc.. We can help you out.

Install a Programmable ThermostatTo reduce your cooling costs, check into a programmable thermostat. Why waste money cooling your home when you aren’t home? You can find an array of different programmable thermostats and should have no challenges finding one that meets your lifestyle needs.

Schedule Your Annual Tune-UpIt’s not difficult to forget the benefits of an annual tune-up when your air conditioner is operating as it should. Yearly tune-ups have the ability to keep your air conditioner as efficient as possible and can help add years to its lifespan.

Zoned Heating If you want individual control over the temperature of different rooms in your house, a zoned heating and cooling system can achieve that with multiple programmable thermostats. This can help improve your air conditioner efficiency and save on energy bills.
